Judge won't step down in Phelps' church cases
Shawnee County District Judge Michael Barbara refused to recuse from cases tied to Westboro Baptist Church and kept a temporary restraining order in place against picketing at St. David's Episcopal Church. A hearing on August 24 will decide whether to end or strengthen the order. Westboro counsel argued bias due to past ties. Barbara denied any prejudice and noted no attendance at St. David's. Fred Phelps Sr. leads Westboro known for anti gay stances. Barbara had signed a May 1993 petition advocating dignity for all.
